How it works.
When you push the status button to
start an injection, the AutoTouch
ConnectTM reusable autoinjector
pushes a hidden needle out of the
Enbrel Mini®single-dose prefilled
cartridge into your skin. Then, a
plunger rod will push into Enbrel
Mini, injecting medicine into your
body. After the medicine is
injected, the rod will pull back up
and the needle will withdraw from
your skin. After a successful
injection all lights will turn off and
the door will open. The needle
stays hidden at all times during the
injection process.
What you will hear.
Needle insertion and plunger rod are
operated by motors. You will hear a
motor noise as the rod moves down
and then back up again. Whenever
you hear a motorized noise, you will
know that an injection is in
progress.
What you will see.
During the injection, the viewing
window light will be on, and the
plunger rod will move through the
window. Also during the injection,
the status light will be flashing
green, and the progress bar will
decrease. After a successful
injection, the progress bar, and
status button will turn off, and
AutoTouch Connect will open the
door.
If the status light turns red, and
beeps for more than a few seconds,
an error has occurred. Use the
troubleshooting section of this
manual to see what to do if this
happens.

Troubleshooting:
Error Symbols
Enbrel Mini®problem
Symbol: Orange Enbrel Mini
single-dose prefilled cartridge with
blinking red status button and
error alert sound.
Problem: There are five possible
reasons you are getting this error.
Please read below.
Problem #1: The purple cap was
removed before inserting Enbrel
Mini.
Action: Wait for the error to
clear and close the door without
Enbrel Mini in, and try again with
a new Enbrel Mini. Make sure to
leave the purple cap on until
Enbrel Mini has been placed inside
the AutoTouch ConnectTM reusable
autoinjector and the door is
closed. Call 1-888-4ENBREL
(1-888-436-2735) for a
replacement Enbrel Mini.
Problem #2: Sensor lost skin
contact during injection.
Action: Hold the injection end of
AutoTouch Connect on your skin
throughout the entire injection
until the green status button turns
off, even if the motor sounds stop.
Lifting or shifting on your skin
during injection may lead to an
incomplete injection. Call your
healthcare provider if you feel you
have given yourself an incomplete
injection.
